if any other website or forum will place any images from my website , for example this image url
http://www.nidokidos.org/attachment....3&d=1304560281

which is serving image through attachment.php , using this code in htaccess will not let the images of your site being displayed on the other website , but it will replace your website banner.

so in a result they will remove your images from their website. the code is working perfectly fine with me.

What do you think vb considers someone who isn't logged in, no matter where they are? I'm saying they attachment.php code doesn't need to be there as you have to be logged in to be able to download and see attachments, anyway. Thus, redundant code.
